Feathers are set to ruffle after New Cross’ notorious ‘sex cinema’ opened its doors for business yet again.
Club 487, in New Cross Road, was reportedly a hotbed of orgies and group romps, with x-rated movies screened to punters.
Charging £15 per entry, News Shopper witnessed first-hand the lewd acts which took place in the disused printers shop, opposite the Addey and Stanhope School.
The venue was infamous among swingers and had a saucy reputation online.
Numerous attempts have been made to shut down the filth den for good, but owner Peter Jones doggedly refuses to shut its door.
MORE TOP STORIES After a police raid last March, Mr Jones applied for a licence in April claiming the venue was nothing more than “private members club”.
Lewisham Council granted the licence with a host of stringent condition including installing CCTV in every room, and only screening U-18 films.
The club reportedly began issuing membership cards in accordance with licencing laws.
They revoked the licence after finding the premises were indeed being used as a sex cinema, or sex establishment, and naughty videos were being shown.
But Mr Jones is appealing the decision, allowing the venue to remain open until a hearing in front of a magistrate four months away.
Lewisham MPS confirmed: “A hearing date is set for July.
“Any evidence of anti-social behaviour should be emailed to us.”
The club now has its own website up and running, where it’s described as: “Focused on providing the best films and meeting accommodation with the highest levels of customer satisfaction & we will do everything we can to meet your expectations.
“With a variety of offerings to choose from, we're sure you'll be happy with us.”
In the company of ‘like-minded people’, films are shown all day every day, with new one's screen on Saturdays.
The site also advertises a viewing room, with comfortable seating for 'your viewing pleasure' – where ‘no one will be disappointed’.
A selection of hot and cold beverages are also on offer.
News Shopper spoke to Mr Jones, who declined to comment.
